Abstract: A method and system for referencing measures between tables of analytical report documents are provided. It is determined whether a source key of a source table and a target key of a target table are on compatible flows, each of the source table and the target table comprising at least one dimension column and one measure column. The source key is a combination of one or more dimensions in the source table and the target key is a combination of one or more dimensions in the target table. On determining that the source key and the target key are not on incompatible flows, the source key is projected on the intersection of the source key and the target key. Finally the target table is synchronized with the source table.
